Yuri Dolgorukiy goes to the sea

YD20090619On June 19, 2009 Yuri Dolgorukiy, the lead ship of the Project 955 class, sailed to the sea to begin its first sea trials.

Thanks to a reader, who found a nice photo of the event (I wish I knew who is the author, so I could credit him).

UPDATE 07/10/09: The submarine is back in port.

She is finally underway! I noticed the weird shape of her sail in a CAD drawing of the class in wikipedia and thought it could have been inaccurate since I did not notice it in the official photographs.Of course this is her first photograph taken in profile so the weird shape of the sail is very distinctive indeed.
